Spring time is naturally a very cleansing time of year.  After a long, cold winter of heartier, heavier foods, Spring rolls in with its fresh, light flavors that are designed by nature to help clean us out and lighten us up a bit!

Leafy greens are the number one ingredient missing in the American diet which is why I've decided to focus on Spring Leafy Greens this month!
 

I love when things just work themselves out effortlessly.  You know those times when everything just comes together without any thought or struggle.  Just a little non-linear, unorganized, spontaneous inspiration.  I seriously love that!

It's cold and rainy here in So.Cal, so I was in the need of some comfort food.  I wanted to use up some Kale and so here's what I came up with...  Let me know what ya think!

Even though I am in Los Angeles and my Mom is in New Jersey, I still wanted to come up with a Mother's Day meal.  It's kind of like a virtual Mother's day meal.  This is what I would make if my family and I were all spending Mother's day together.

Sometimes nothing hits the spot like a big bowl of good old fashion Spaghetti and Meatballs! For this QuickBite I take an old time favorite and add a twist.

This dish is too good to be so easy, and the truth is, there really isn't any cooking involved (other than cooking up your soba noodles... but does that really count?).
